1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 The play off final and it is all come down to this
Promotion from the blue square premier is what no one wants to miss
In their thousands arrived the confidant fans
Wembley Sunday 17th May 2009 was where they had plans

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 The first 20 minutes promised gave a positive viewing
But 15 minutes later and Cambridge are losing
As the referee blows for the break
Some fans head to the bar are finding it hard to take

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 As second half Cambridge set off out of the traps
Bouyed on by the amber army’s cheers and claps
All of sudden a mistake is made and Bolland receives a booking
Fans begin to start questioning was the referee really looking

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 As the minutes and hopes begin to fade away
Still the fans try to sing and join in the sway
Football is cruel sport as Sills scores number two
Time is running out now as Cambridge run out of clues

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 As tears start to flow from Fans young and old
The dream is over it’s a funny old game so we are told
Inquests begin where did it go wrong
Even the fans struggle to muster a song

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Fans walk away down Wembley way thinking is football really their thing
‘Of course it is’ come August they will be back ready to sing
The only way to get out of this league is to win it outright
But for that my friends we will have to put up a fight.
